■ Using the appliance for anything other than
its intended purpose is dangerous.
You are not permitted to use it to dry food
or clothing or to warm slippers, grain or
cereal pillows, sponges, damp cleaning
cloths or the like.
This is because, for instance, overheated
slippers, grain or cereal pillows, sponges
and damp cleaning cloths, etc., may cause
burns to the skin.
:Warning – Risk of scalding!
■ There is a possibility of delayed boiling
when a liquid is heated. This means that the
liquid reaches boiling temperature without
the usual steam bubbles rising to the
surface. Even if the container only vibrates a
little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over
and spatter. When heating, always place a
spoon in the container. This will prevent
delayed boiling.
:Warning – Risk of injury!
■ Unsuitable ovenware may crack. Porcelain
or ceramic ovenware can have small
perforations in the handles or lids. These
perforations conceal a cavity below. Any
moisture that penetrates this cavity could
cause the ovenware to crack. Only use
microwave-safe ovenware.

5Installation and connection
I nst al l at i on and connect i on
This appliance is designed for domestic use only.
This appliance is designed to be fully integrated into
kitchen units.
Please follow the dedicated installation instructions.
The appliance is ready to be plugged in and may only
be connected to a Schuko socket that has been
correctly installed. The circuit breaker must have a
rating of 10 A (L- or B-type circuit breaker).The mains
voltage must correspond to the voltage specified on the
rating plate.
Only a qualified electrician may install the socket or
replace the power cable.If the plug is no longer
accessible once the appliance has been installed, an
all-pole isolating switch with a contact gap of at least 3
mm must be provided for the wiring.
Do not use multi-socket adaptors, power strips or
extension leads. Overloading causes a risk of fire.
]Causes of damage
Causes of damage
Caution!
■ Heavily soiled seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged. Always keep the seal clean.
■ Operating the microwave without food: Operating
the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading. Never switch
on the appliance unless there is food in the cooking
compartment.The only exception to this rule is when
performing a short cookware test.~ "Cookware
test" on page 10
■ Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave
power too high. Use a power setting no higher than
600 watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass
plate. The disc may jump if overloaded.
■ Liquid that has boiled over must not be allowed to
run through the turntable drive into the interior of the
appliance. Monitor the cooking process. Choose a
shorter cooking time initially, and increase the
cooking time as required.
■ Never use the microwave oven without the turntable.
■ Creation of sparks: Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass
must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and
the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably
damage the glass on the inside of the door.
■ Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the
appliance. They damage the appliance by producing
sparks.
■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Only leave
the cooking compartment to cool with the door
closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door.
Even if the door is only slightly ajar, the fronts of
adjacent units may be damaged over time.
■ Condensation in the cooking compartment:
Condensation may appear on the door window,
interior walls and floor. This is normal and does not
adversely affect microwave operation. To prevent
corrosion, wipe off the condensation every time you
cook.
